An amazing #DogEaredBookAward 7th grade review for Away by @meganefreeman.bsky.social

Seen on Edelweiss US Weekly Greeting —dropping this week: paperback edition of @meganefreeman.bsky.social AWAY. / Aladdin

Truth is always stranger than fiction, and this headline proves it. Taken from today’s KUNC member newsletter, it illustrates how real the conflicts are for water in the west. But Grandin, Ashanti, Harmony, and Teddy already knew that…

A young patron was returning books at my library, they stopped, hugged one book and whispered "Good-bye!" before dropping it into the book slot The book was Away by @meganefreeman.bsky.social
